My project to go is Cathedral Windows. I have been working on one for 5-6 years. It is something that has no pressure and I have used scraps for the windows, so it will be scrappy. I don't know if it will ever be finished. Maybe it will be one of those projects someone "finds" at a yard sale--Hopefully a long time into the future. lol

any of Jenny Beyer's patterns are well suited for hand piecing- (since she hand pieces all of her quilts) the precision you can achieve with hand piecing makes it a great technique for many of the more difficult patterns- that are difficult to get together by machine. I love to hand piece and have done log cabin blocks, stars, many of Jenny's patterns-
also a couple of Sue Garmen's patterns/quilts are nice done by hand. any pattern can be sewn by hand.

I am hand piecing this at the moment

I just work on one star at a time with the blue around each one.
I also hand pieced the cubes in this one but finished it off by machine

This one is a paper pieced mariners star that was all hand pieced

Hand piecing can be very relaxing, I'm sure you will find something fun
